This is like the set up to a Junji Ito comic. They will find some bear in the kids clothes and when they kill it and cut it open it will be like the kid as an old man in like a weird fetus sac and before he dies he will cry for his parents.

That is best case.

I like his heart warming comics about his cat that are drawn in his grotesque horror style.

Jojo's bizarre adventures are considered bizarre because there's hardly any lesbian magical school girls in it, by Japanese standards.

Edit: Here's a Japanese movie trailer and about schoolgirls eating people and what not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HX4t8XYJgS0

That trailer was awful.

Anti-Trans Bathroom ‘Child Protector’ Caught With 13 Year Old Chained In Basement

quote:

Esten Ciboro was recently in the news for protesting Target’s new policy of allowing transgender people to use the restroom of their choice. Now it turns out that he has been arrested for keeping a 13-year-old girl chained inside his basement. The girl, who has not been identified, was forced to use the restroom in a bucket and was fed scraps of spoiled food.....

.....It’s unclear how long the girl was kept in captivity, though court documents report that it could have been as long as a year.

Timothy Ciboro made the following statement concerning the children:

I miss my babies with all my heart. I want them to do right. That’s the way they were raised. If they have any questions, all they have to do is open the Bible and they will have all the answers.’

Japan is pretty good at making tough individuals I guess (when it works) but collectively they seem to have been failing for decades now.

The fact that they closed themselves off from the rest of the world for years and years because 'not Japan' until finally the US came up with modern (at the time) warships and cannons and went 'open your markets douches' is hilarious to me.

Best part of that story is Perry gifting the Japanese a white flag to wave if they were ever stupid enough to attack him.

As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder.

In 2002, a man searching for acorns discovered their bodies in an area of the mountain that had already been searched. He first reported the remains via an anonymous phone call. Initially, the police stated that they thought the boys had died of hypothermia. However, the parents did not accept that conclusion and demanded a full investigation. The families questioned the conclusion that the boys had simply died after getting lost due to the oddities of the boys' clothes being found tied in knots and of their bodies being found a short distance from the village in an area the boys knew very well. Forensic experts discovered that the boys had been murdered with repeated blows to the head and that one had been shot in the head with a shotgun.
Ah, a VERY THOROUGH initial investigation. One of the boys' heads is completely missing? Hypothermia, obviously.

Apparently they didn't find him on the mountain, he just walked onto the local SDF base like "Hey I'm here!"

Almost certainly hitched a ride, but drat if I'm not lolling at this 7-year old shitter hiking down an entire mountain full of bears just to tell his parents "gently caress you, nature can't kill me"

ill admit that i only learned about bears and hunting in japan due to a thread discussing an anime about lesbian magical girls who were also human-eating bears. despite the amazing premise it turned out to be a pretty bad show.

How the hell do you gently caress that up? Like, the god of writing prompts descends from the heavens and hands you the perfect slasher film premise and you gently caress it up. gently caress that guy that hosed this up.
